    I've had the 5 and the 5s but I don't intend buying the next one, purely as I have more important things I'm saving for. There's nothing wrong with the 5s so I don't really "need" the next model - although I'm sure I'll be really tempted!
    What will your verse be?

    I've got an iPhone 4 - put off getting an iPhone for years as felt they were over priced but when I got one I really liked it.
    It's close on 2 years old now, was on a 12 month contract then on a 12 month sim deal now just staying on a monthly sim now.

    I've looked at the 5c and 5s but want to avoid an expensive 2 year contract and whilst this iPhone 4 works I shall keep it going.

    I never rush into a new phone and prefer to buy outright but if the right deal/contract is there I'd consider it. I shall also look at all the alternative phones.

    Be interesting to see what the 6 is like once out

    u can get 12 month contracts but u have to ask.
    i'm not going to upgrade phone, after a while it gets pointless.
    although i have heard some interesting things about the iP 6 ....

    If someone had bought every new iPhone how much would they all have cost between them, a couple of thousand, even after selling the old ones?

    That's why I've never had even one.

    Probably, I'll see what it's like first though.

    My 4S will be 3 years old at that point and I fancy a change.

    1) Yes
    2) No

    I only buy the primary numbered version (3,4,5) and avoid those with letter suffixes. This means I get 2 years out of each handset and when I sell it, always get just over half what I paid for it. This means the cost to me is attractive, and I get the latest version available at the time. With a fresh battery it also replaces one that is just past its best, but will a great purchase for someone who cannot afford a new replacement - it also retains its value lord then any other equivalent, so there's nothing to dislike.
